Not even close to the worst character because casting is very strong.
However this is all opionated, but alchemists will in general outdamage feeders as they have access to pink warlock abilities
Casting is very strong, and yet you have to get to level 85 using Robes for defense vs a Mage that only needs level 71 for Master Quest and can use a Weapon for additional damage support equivalent at level 71 compared to an Alchemist?
Also a Mage starts with 20 Vitality vs 15 for an Alchemist.
Mage Stats: Starting Stats: 20(str) 50(dex) 60(int) 20(vita)
Alch Stats: Starting Stats: 10(str) 40(dex) 110(int) 15(vita)
Outside of the Intelligence which a weapon on a mage can compensate for, and deal physical damage, the Alchemist is worse off. Even a Guardian with a heavy weapon with 100% ee, +50 Int, 10% QD can compete with damage output. Note: this is only the weapon.
Hey... even a Damage Calculator is only as good as the gear your character has access to to be better.
